Facebook has blocked access in Thailand to a million-member group discussing the monarchy, called Royalist Marketplace, after the Thai government threatened legal action. We speak to the group's founder, Pavin Cha-chav-al-pong-pun, an academic living in exile in Japan. Dr Stefan Theil, who looks at freedom of expression and social media at Oxford University tells us Facebook was in a difficult position. UK companies are to be banned from using products from deforested land, under plans drawn up by the British government. It's a really big problem according to Ruth Chambers of Greener UK, a coalition of environmental and animal welfare organisations. Education ministries across Africa have decided to scrap the entire 2020 academic year. Tamasin Ford finds out what that means for the class of 2020. And, in light of current hygiene advice, global fast food giant KFC has dropped its slogan "finger lickin' good". Simon Manchipp, founder of the branding agency SomeOne, gives us his view on the decision.
